Sweet Memories

Ray Charles

1. My world is like a river
   as dark as it is deep 
   Night after night the past slips in
   and gathers all my sleep
   My days are just and endless stream
   of emptiness to me
   Filled only by the fleeting
   moments of her memories 

R: Sweet memories
   Sweet memories
   Oh! mm...mm...mm...mm...mm..

2. She slipped into the silence
   of my dreams again last night
   Wandering from room to room,
   she's turning on each light
   Her laughter spills like river
   from the water to the sea
   And I'm swept away from sadness
   clinging to her memories 

R: Sweet memories...
